This is something Ashton Kutcher knows all too well. Having already been in possession of a huge following, evident by him being the first person to garner one million followers on Twitter in 2009, interest in the actor heightened when he formed a relationship with Mila Kunis who starred as his love interest in That 70s Show when the pair were teenagers.
Despite the level of interest in their relationship, the couple have managed to retain a strong level of privacy over their relationship.
An example of this was when they married in July, 2015, several months after reports suggested they had already got married. The pair appeared to encourage the rumours, with Kunis appearing on the James Corden Late Late Show in March 2015 wearing a ring and coyly responding “maybe”, when asked directly if she had married Kutcher.
However, it was then reported the couple actually married on the July 4th weekend. The news seemed pretty much confirmed when Kutcher’s Two and a Half Men co-star Jon Cryer told People he attended the “beautiful and sincere” ceremony.
For any still unsure, Kutcher has now appeared on The Ellen Show confirming their marriage and explained the “ninja effort” that went into keeping their ceremony a special occasion for the two of them away from the public eye.
“It was a ninja effort. We really didn’t want helicopters at our wedding and it’s a legitimate concern,” he told Ellen DeGeneres, “So I was like posting things on social media that we’re in different locations to avoid the helicopters because we didn’t want to be like screaming our vows at each other… We went really under the radar with it.”
Kutcher also spoke to the daytime television host about his one-year-old daughter Wyatt, who likes dancing, apparently partial to a “whip and nae-nae”.
